Cold Tropics
Directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho
Produced by CinemaScópio, Símio Filmes
A playful mockumentary that uses absurdist premise and satirical observation to examine climate, urban development, and social systems in tropical Brazil.
In tropical Recife, in northeastern Brazil, temperatures drop to impossible lows and the inhabitants have to adapt. This 'mockumentary' gradually turns critical, looking at the climate, urban development and social interaction from every angle. Does a ray of sun pierce the clouds, after all?
